The KTM's and BMW's get their increased horsepower by using higher compression. This means they need to run premium fuel. Some can adapt to lower grades of fuel. I don't know if there are side effects to this, but it is probably advisable to carry octane booster. The Africa Twin runs on regular fuel. I've been in situations where I had one choice for fuel and was glad to have it. I have a 2019 ATAS that comes with the tall screen. I replaced the screen with a short screen from an AT. I live in Western Washington and I ride year round including the occasional trip across the Western US. When it is hot, I want the vents on my helmet to catch the wind. When it's cold and wet, I need the wind to hit my faceshield to reduce fogging.

Best video coverage on the twin, thanks!

yeah man it's an off road goat, I upgraded from a street bike and never looked back. got the 2019 DCT version and it's strong enough to take a beating.

I ride a lot of street and also Autobahn here. I have a Tenere 700 which is quite fun on the road but in your opinion, is the AT better for this job? I like the around 200kg weight of my Tenere. AT is significantly heavier, is it noticeable?

@bfeadventures

I currently have a T7 as well. The AT is netter on the road. Period. The AT actually feels lighter at slow speeds to me than the T7. You will notice the weight pushing it around, but you will appreciate the highway capabilities of the AT more. Now, I just took a 5.5 hour trip one way on the T7 yesterday and it cruises GREAT! AT is still better. It also has better wind protection in my opinion and w/ my 5’10” stature

Love mine too is a great bike and super reliable

To those wanting a pre 2020 AT (crf1000) If you do not purchase an ATAS, you should plan on buying a 2018 or 2019 ATAS fork body set as the stock AT forks will eventually develop a problem with the inner anodization rubbing off, causing unusual stiction (sticky friction) Not cheap. Around 800 dollars for the set. Totally worth it, with proper suspension tuning it feels great and you don't need to worry about the wear because they changed the anodization coating. Or you can send off your stock tubes to be reanodized, but its not really much cheaper.

You hit the nail on the head! It is definitely an “in between” bike when compared to the touring capabilities of a GS and the off road capabilities of a KTM 890.

I own the AT (Africa Twin) and S10 (Super Ténéré). I’ll tell you what makes the S10 easier to ride, lower center of gravity. Unless your an accomplished off road guy, even though Honda (and others) market their bikes as having the weight down low, you can’t have ground clearance and low CG, you have to choose. The S10 is heavier, but feels lighter. The AT might be more capable off road, but you need to be honest about how much off road you’re planning. I take my S10 to dirt tracks and have a blast along side the dirt bikes. Then I ride home in comfort. AT is a decent tourer, but then the ground clearance has no benefit.

@bfeadventures

Those are great points! I had a ‘12 S10 and LOVED that bike. It feels way lighter than it is. If you plan to keep off-roading relatively tame, I could not agree more. The S10 is easier to ride on soft, flowy stuff. That being said, as my off-road riding has advanced, the AT is better for more aggressive stuff. The 21” front tracks easier over logs, through creek crossing, and over logs. The front feels lighter to lift up over stuff, and it feels lighter to pick up off the ground. The S10 is great in basically every comfort/easy riding category. For what most people are ACTUALLY going to do with their ADV bikes - I’d say the S10 is better. Thanks for adding that!

Hi great vid thanks, how would you compare performance for like low down torque from the AT with the S10? Thanks

I would say the S10 felt more powerful because it is. However, the power is easier to use on the AT. It’s hard to explain it. In a drag race, the S10 would win out of the hole. From a 30 roll, they would be extremely close.

Do you think this would be an okay motorcycle for a beginner? I’d like to buy one but I’m afraid it could be too much for me

So, the MY16 AT made more sense for me. And yes, I Am going off road with it. Yes I droped it some times, yes did some scratches and broke blinkers.

I do mostly road, but when I go to off roading, even if I look for gravel roads, hopefully hard packed, no mud, no loose rocks, there are allways some sections more dificult that require more skills and are challenging. These sections, on my opinion, will tell what kind of bike is more apropiate. So I chose the heavier AT against the nimble and lighter cb500 or other more road biaised bikes. Also i do need to do a lot of road miles to reach my favorite off road spots, so a 250 would be a pain.

I have had a 2017 KLR650, a 2020 Africa Twin, and a 2021 CRF300 Rally. The rally is by far the most fun bike of all 3 of them. Don't let anyone lie to you, unless you are willing to risk your hefty investment learning to ride a 500+ pound bike off road to its full potential, you will never truly enjoy it. Every wreck is a potential $1000+ repair and broken bones. The AT is very top heavy. That much weight is a liability off road, not an asset. The guys in the promo videos are riding them that way 1, because they are pros, 2 because they have no skin in the game. Honda is paying for those bikes. Also look at the tires they use in those promo videos. They aren't the OEM tires you get when you buy. And if you buy knobbies for it, you just put a serious dent in your touring capabilities. No one wants to ride 500 miles on pavement on knobbies. So you have a choice, buy some knobbies and risk your money and your health or acknowledge what these huge bikes really are - tourers with a little off road capability. And without a doubt, the AT was a great tourer. I owned my 2020 AT for 7 month and put 5000 miles on it. I just got tired of fighting all the weight and being scared the front end was going to wash out off road. It just wasn't a fun bike.

Some guy….. Pogo here with BFE Adventures. I have to disagree with you as the rally being the most fun bike. In its own way, yes. Off-road, well it’s a 300cc dirtbike, if it’s not more fun off road then there is something wrong. However, a klr650, Africa Twin, and crf300 are not anywhere close to the same bikes or comparatively speaking. So to say the 300 is the most fun I’ll respectfully disagree sir. Don’t think anyone is going to just jump on a 15k 500lb adv bike and ride it off-road without any prior experience. If that’s the case I highly suggest looking into one of our training courses before doing so. Don’t give people false information like every wreck is a potential $1000 repair. Most people who ride these big bikes off-road spend the money to set them up for doing so. Protect the investment. Protection, crash bars, bark busters etc…. Another piece of false info, the AT is actually very nimble off-road and weight is very low slung. More so than my KTM 1190r that feels significantly heavier up top than Alex AT. Learn to ride with the weight, practice slow maneuvers, sliding the bike, drifting in the dirt, etc…. Tire selection is key, look for our video coming out this week showcasing many different choices and personal ridden opinions (that’s exactly what they are) They are more than tourers with a “little” off-road capability. Tire selection will dictate what your gonna do with a 500lb bike off-road. I’ve taken my KTM 1190 places guys with dirt bikes wouldn’t even try to go. Hill climbs guys on Dirtbikes wouldn’t do. If your worried about the front end washing out, one thing to combat that is throttle. While I’m not saying throttle out of everything, these big bikes like being under power. It makes the front end light and they don’t wash. Just think of riding on sand or loose stuff. Your front end wants to wash, what do you do? Keep your weight back and front end light. They have plenty of capability if your willing to try. Train, practice, ride….. repeat. Long story short, those are 3 different bikes with 3 totally different mind sets Thanks for checking out the channel, we value everyone’s opinion here. Glad you left your feedback!

No you should not buy Africa. Bought 2 month ago and regret. Slow and unintuitive menu. Warning message I have to dismiss every start-up. Dislike

You don’t make any sense the bike is under powered but in the same sentence it’s a hand full! I have a 2019 atas it’s a the best bike out there for on and off road adventures

ON road - it's underpowered compared to most bikes of similar size. Off road, it's a handful. I agree - it's an incredible bike. "Best" really depends on how the rider uses it, in my opinion.
